Georg Kapsch, Chief Executive Officer
The first three quarters of the 2012/13 fiscal year proved challenging ones for the Kapsch TrafficCom Group. The new projects that we succeeded in obtaining in the past months have hardly yet contributed to revenues or earnings during the reporting period. At the same time, delays in our existing major projects in Poland and South Africa led to significantly lower revenues than expected. The calculation update of the contract in South Africa yielded a decline in the expected project revenue by roughly 10 %, which negatively impacted the profit contribution due to the delayed project progress together with additional costs.
In consequence, the Kapsch TrafficCom Group achieved revenues of EUR 310.9 million during the first three quarters of 2012/13 – a decline of 24 % compared with the outstanding results of the same period in the previous year. The EBIT was clearly negative at EUR -9.6 million, weighed down primarily by the South African project.
The current situation must be viewed from multiple perspectives. The earnings situation is not satisfactory. Nevertheless, our fundamental business continues to operate solidly, and we see great future potential. Thanks in particular to the implementation of the new strategy in the year 2012, we have structured the organization of the Kapsch TrafficCom Group for growth through the creation of additional ITS segments as well as through global expansion. This was undertaken in the assumption that the two major projects listed above would deliver contributions to profit typical of other operation projects already during the current fiscal year. We now have two options: either we continue to pursue the strategy of investing in the future and accept this temporary dip in earnings or we take radical measures and cut back our investments and structures. In the latter case, however, we would not have the capacities to participate in the expected future projects, some of them quite large.
We have therefore decided to stay our current course and hold to our growth prospects but also to take advantage of potential cost reductions that have arisen due to the rapid expansion of recent years. Our focus is on the long-term success of the company, not on short-term profit maximization. Moreover, an easing of the situation is already in sight – this is already the case in Poland, while in South Africa we await the start of the
system and in other countries initial new projects have now already begun. In parallel, we are naturally analyzing very carefully where we can streamline or suspend investments and strengthen cost awareness in all areas.
We currently have roughly 1,000 employees in South Africa. This illustrates the magnitude of this project. The legal action, which was not directed against us but has delayed the start of our toll collection system in the Gauteng province for some time, has now been dismissed. We still await the announcement of the new commencement date, which was expected to take place already in December 2012. We now hope that we can put the system into operation at the start of the coming fiscal year. However, the delays have led to additional costs and standby costs and resulted in a reduction of the order volume by roughly 10 % in the third quarter of 2012/13. As a result of this, as well as in compliance with the IFRS accounting rules, it was necessary to update the calculation of the contract. This had a significant negative impact on the profit contribution in this quarter, and the overall profitability of the project is also lower than expected as a result.
In our operation project in Poland, we were able to clarify key open issues regarding the system operation during the third quarter. This can also be seen in the considerable improvement of the margin in our segment SEC.
For strategic reasons, Kapsch TrafficCom has withdrawn – at a profit – from the Russian joint venture UTS, which is focused primarily on road operation. We want to continue to concentrate on ETC and ITS opportunities in Russia, such as the upcoming tender for a national toll collection system.
The toll project in Belarus is taking shape, and according to the plan, the first phase should be completed by summer 2013. Our ongoing projects in France, Australia and the U.S.A. are also progressing, which is reflected in the results of the third quarter.
The tender in Hungary that we reported on at mid-fiscal year has produced no result. The further developments here remain to be seen. In the meantime, the tender in Slovenia has begun, and we expect additional tenders in Belgium and the U.S.A. We are following the discussion regarding very comprehensive toll collection systems in Denmark, Russia and Germany with great interest.
Despite the disappointing earnings situation, the strength of the Kapsch TrafficCom Group can be seen in the extremely solid balance sheet structure. The equity ratio increased to 47.7 % as at 31 December 2012. On the balance sheet date, we had no net debts, rather net assets in the amount of EUR 1.0 million. The cash and cash equivalents amounted to an impressive EUR 83.7 million. The net working capital and capital employed were back to significantly below the comparison values of the previous year. Not least, the free cash flow increased to EUR 89.7 million. Kapsch TrafficCom therefore enjoys a solid foundation, including for future projects.
The negative influence of the South African project will weigh down the annual results for 2012/13, bringing them considerably lower than previous expectations. In view of the progress that has been made in our existing projects and the expected tenders and additional projects, we are holding firm to our growth-oriented ITS strategy and look forward optimistically to the future.
Yours sincerely,
Georg Kapsch Chief Executive Officer

The revenues of Kapsch TrafficCom Group were EUR 310.9 million in the first three quarters of the current fiscal year 2012/13 (2012/13 Q1-Q3), down by 23.8 % from EUR 408.2 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year (2011/12 Q1-Q3). The segment Services, System Extensions, Components Sales (SEC) exhibited a growth in revenue, while the segment Road Solution Projects (RSP) earned significantly lower revenues than in the same period of the previous year.
Revenues by segment in the first nine months were as follows:
The number of on-board units sold reflects the average volume of sales and amounted to 6.7 million units (2011/12 Q1-Q3: 8.0 million). The lower volumes in the reporting period were associated with the delayed commissioning of the project in Gauteng, South Africa and the initial deliveries for the nationwide electronic toll collection system in Poland that took place in the previous year.
■ In the segment Others (OTH), revenues rose in the first nine months of 2012/13 to EUR 12.6 million (2011/12 Q1-Q3: EUR 6.9 million). This increase resulted largely from the production and deliveries for the GSM-R project of Kapsch CarrierCom.
In the first three quarters of the current fiscal year, the Kapsch TrafficCom Group reported an operating result (EBIT) of EUR -9.6 million (2011/12 Q1-Q3: EUR 37.4 million). Operating results by segment during the reporting period were as follows:
margins in the U.S.A. as well, plus the absence of profit contribution connected with the lack of on-board unit deliveries for the system operation in Gauteng, South Africa. The operation project in Poland made an increased contribution to the results compared with the previous year. Measures for further improvement are ongoing.
■ The segment OTH exhibited an EBIT of EUR 0.4 million (2011/12 Q1-Q3: EUR 0.5 million). The high EBIT margin of the previous year was due largely to a one-time shouldering of costs for adapting the manufacturing of the GSM-R products.
The financial result improved from EUR -4.3 million in the comparison period of the previous year to EUR 1.0 million. The increase in finance income can be attributed primarily to the sale of the minority shares in the joint venture LLC "United Toll Systems", Russia. The exchange rate gains, the majority of which were not yet realized, lay below those of the previous year. With respect to the finance costs, the as yet unrealized exchange rate losses declined because the group-internal financing of the implementation project in Poland had a considerable influence on the financial result in the previous year.
The balance sheet total on 31 December 2012 of EUR 470.2 million was lower than at the end of the 2011/12 fiscal year (31 March 2012: EUR 557.7 million). The total equity of EUR 224.2 million was also below the comparison value on 31 March 2012 of EUR 256.2 million. Due to the decreased balance sheet total, the equity ratio of the Kapsch TrafficCom Group increased from 45.9 % on 31 March 2012 to 47.7 % on 31 December 2012.
The most significant changes in assets involved the current assets. The trade receivables and other current assets decreased from EUR 287.6 million to EUR 147.8 million primarily due to the payment received for the completion of the Polish project.
On the liabilities side, primarily the current liabilities decreased. The current financial liabilities played the strongest part here, having decreased from EUR 53.2 million to EUR 11.9 million due to the return of the credit for the Polish project.
These balance sheet changes demonstrate a clear improvement in the following figures:
Although the negative operating result and the decrease in trade payables and other current liabilities weighed on the net cash flow from operating activities, it was still possible to improve this from EUR -15.4 million in the comparison period of the previous year to EUR 101.7 million. This was influenced most heavily by the significant decrease in trade receivables and other assets. The net cash flow from investing activities was marked in the first nine months of the 2012/13 fiscal year by expansions to the production capacities, ongoing replacement investments and the acquisition of a share in SIMEX, Mexico. This was compensated in part by the sale of the minority shares in the joint venture LLC "United Toll Systems", Russia. The repayment of current financial liabilities primarily from project financing led to a negative net cash flow from financing activities of EUR -54.9 million (2011/12 Q1-Q3: EUR 51.6 million) with a positive effect on the net debt.
Cash and cash equivalents were increased from EUR 44.9 million on 31 March 2012 to EUR 83.7 million on 31 December 2012.

Income taxes relate to current taxes and to deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. Applying the Austrian corporate tax rate of 25 % to the group's pre-tax result gives rise to the theoretical value for the tax expense/income. The effective tax expense/income differs from the above due to, among others, different tax regimes in the various countries, the treatment of tax losses, tax allowances and permanent differences.
In the first three quarters of 2012/13, the tax rate is 31 % (2011/12 Q1-Q3: 25 %). For the full year 2012/13, management expects an effective tax rate of approximately 25 %.
